Summary/Abstract: In the era of image, painting loses its privileged position on the typological scale of visual arts. The horizontal leveled order changes essentially its coordinates to transform them into a media, equivalent to visual arts based on technology and/or time. The change does not happen without resistance. We find traces and testimonies of the desire to preserve the “self-centered” memory of the ever-prevailing painting in the attributed elements of initially considered to be her denials – photography and digital arts. We are witnessing a strange paradox – in an attempt to preserve its claiming perfection nature, painting recognizes the inherent in technology imperfections. The report discusses the visual noise as a possible painting method, demonstrated in the author’s artistic practice and specifically stated in several cycles of works, presented at four exhibitions.
